Even though the place is small, there are a few things that you should not miss. The first is, of course, to swim in the crystal-clear waters that are hard to resist.
The coast is rocky, and the municipality has created stairs to assist the access to the water. There is no beach with sand in Limeni, but you can find that in the next village called Oitilo.
One of the first things that caught the eye is the stone tower of Petrobeys Mavromichalis, a hero of the Greek independence war. The tower is imposing, with four floors and arches at its windows and balconies.
Take your time walking around the picturesque alleys of the village. You can observe the traditional architecture that is typical to the whole area of Mani: Tall, square towers made of stone, relatively small windows, and arches on the doors.
My favorite place to eat in Limeni is ‘To magazaki tis Thodoras’, a charming tavern with a great view of the gulf. They serve delicious food, and they are always very polite. If you find yourself in Limeni, do not forget to try it!
